Do not buy! I have one and loved it until I updated to windows 7'and it just quit working! Called tech support and they told me that the product did not make them enough money to keep updating software etc.... They suggested I find an old computer with windows 98.....that is terrible customer service! If they wanted to discontinue the line fine.... But at least allow thos of us who spent several hundred dollars to keep using the thing!

If you have a 64-bit processor, DON'T BUY IT! Not compatible. Dymo promised a fix by the end of the year, then moved it up to January, now it's March before an update will be available. And their tech support stinks. I asked a question about printed images not holding their aspect ratio (with the box checked to do this) and they said they'd get back to me. They never did. Save your money!

Eddie I've used the Dymo discPainter for about 3 years and must say it was the best CD/DVD printer i"ve ever owned even over the Canon series, I only wish theywould come back soon with something affordable as today's add shows 1 Dymo available at $430.00, no way i don't think so...Please hurry back Dymo i'm still a very satisfied customer with Zero failures in 3 years and zero ruined disk in 3 years.

Thank you again D.K. Fonesca,How clever. This makes such perfect since. I understand that it is a suggetsion, but the manner in which the abilities of the Epson and the phsyics of the fix work together makes it an excelent one.I will certainly see if this or a similar method works before seeing a profesional -- even if it doesn't work on mine, I've learned something.Cheers!Athena

Well, I'm trying to find an answer for you, but I can't remember how to open a DOS window, and... I don't remember how to print from DOS. Why would anyone other than Dr. Sheldon Cooper want to print from DOS? Other than that, this printer works great with my Compaq PC running under Windows XP. You can contact me a RGYoder@juno.com if you have further questions about this. -- Rob

The Product for printing CD/DVD software on any computer and on any printer is by purchasing the ACOUSTICA Label Maker. I have the older software and possibly updated by now. Your DVD/CD labels are cheaper from NEATO and DISCOUNTED monthly sent to your e-mail. Great fun for all ages. If you purchase this I would like to know how it does with the updated software as I would like to update my version of software!!! Wallah!!

Scott: Try CarrotInk. They don't list the Dymo but they have Universal Inkjet refill kits.

I had to buy Nero burning program there aren't to many free ones (actually I found none...) but alot of 'trial' versions of a variety of programs. so make sure you want to purchase a program Before buying! I assumed it came with some type of basic program, silly me!! ( they are getting really cheap in my opinion!!) no specific drivers are available that I found. once you buy a program it works great.

According to the specs on your printer you can print directly to printable CD's and DVD's. No reason this product wouldn't workand the color from the gloss finish on this particular DVD creates beautifully, plus it's one of the most reliable brands.Buy it you'll love it.

I guess that depends on the seller. A friend of mine picked one up on craigslist from another artist for about $800 he tested it before he took it home obviously. I would assume if you purchase one on Amazon, you can get your money back if doesn't work. I know because it's such an expensive piece of hardware, many people are going to be apprehensive to just buy a used one from a stranger. These tools are usually only purchased by professional artists within a very niche market, hobbyist are likely never going to pick them up and everyone I know who's purchased a used one has purchased them from other artists who have upgraded to a newer version and have had good experiences.

Well, first, I wouldn't buy this if I were you. Wacoms may be more expensive, but Huion is known to have a lot of problems, and if you're new to digital art (while cheap) this is really not the greatest. I use the program Krita and it's AWESOME with TONS of custom brushes you can find online if you search for 'em. Happy arting!

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

Authentic blank Dymo Stamps. Other manufacturers won't do. That's all that's needed to use this scale and that's only if you have the LabelWriter 400 Turbo or other Dymo printers that'll print Dymo Stamps. The scale will weigh up to two pounds, but if you want to weigh more than two pounds then you must sign up with Dymo for $9.99 a month to weigh packages up to 10 pounds. If you weigh lots of packages monthly then this is a good deal. I don't, so I just use the scale to weigh up to 2 lbs. The scale is completely accurate as well. I've weighed boxes here on the Dymo scale and took them to the post office to verify the weight and postage, and both were right on. Try it, you'll like it. Authentic blank Dymo Stamps.

I agree with all comments posted here I my opinion is: I believe the ink consumption is smaller because the coating be sleek, but I can't tell you with precision, because the amount of ink consumed in both finishes was not measured.And I think you should consider the print quality. It is very good in this DVD

I came to see if I could help. I have been in IT for years, but sounds like Dave, the retired tech support guy, is your best bet. I think it is great that Dave has the time and is willing to help you. Way to go, Dave! I'd enjoy knowing "the rest of the story" just in case my printer ever has print quality issues. --Janey

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Sounds to me that you may have either a faulty tape or machine. Try switching to a different tape and see if it changes. If not, I'd call dymo directly.
